I was very young when I left Cuba but seeing the movie with my Mom she relived her past and as the movie was happening, she would be explaining things to me. Cubans are very family oriented and this movie certainly depicts how communism affect even the closest family. The music is fabulous.

This movie certainly needs more exposure and it would be nice to see a continuation of another movie similar to this one. American people need to see what we Cuban's went through and how our country was destroyed by Fidel Castro.…Expand

Actually, a very, very good movie. Beautiful cinematography and great music. I expected the story and directing to be tedious possibly, after reading some reviews. I now wonder why those reviewers couldn't follow what was being said. It all made sense to me, and it was told very well. Actually, a very, very good movie. Beautiful cinematography and great music. I expected the story and directing to be tedious possibly, after reading some reviews. I now wonder why those reviewers couldn't follow what was being said. It all made sense to me, and it was told very well. I was in Havana last month and it is a beautiful city...that has deteriorated for years. Great trip in a country of contrasts. The people are beautiful and warm. Havana has the largest amount of colonial architecture in the Americas. I believe it can become a city like Prague in terms of tourist attraction. Yet the people are very poor. The visitors to the country use a different currency than the residents, and everything is divided along those lines. The children seem happy and there is universal education and healthcare. There is a sense of "The Revolution" everywhere and also a sense of waiting...... For things to change and get better. This movie gives a true perspective of how one dictator replaced another. I recommend the film to everyone.…Expand

Some critics talk about historical inaccuracies, mainly the portrayal of Che Guevara as an assassin. Ironically, the movie is historically accurate. Separate from his many recorded speeches, Che kept a diary up until his death and it he recounted in detail many of the killings "with a bullet to the temple" of uncooperative peasants and people suspect of not adhering to the revolution's dogma. His motto was 'When in doubt, kill him…Expand

Refreshing to see a realistic perspective of the impact of the cuban revolution and a true portrayal of Che for the assasin that he was instead of how he has been portrayed by Hollywood in the past.

I liked the story and the cinematography. The acting? Overall pretty good, although Bill Murray's character should have been axed, inappropiate and not funny. Dustin Hoffman's was too short and didn't add too much to the story. It was a little slow at times and could have I liked the story and the cinematography. The acting?

It just didn't flow.…Expand

Snoozefeast-a-palooza! There's so much talent on the screen and none of it comes through. A boring story that has way too many distractions. I never thought that I would be disapointed seeing Andy Garcia, Bill Murray, and Dustin Hoffman in the same movie and in the same scene! I guess Snoozefeast-a-palooza!
